pUEyfICATTOY OF DRINKING TATER

PTRIFJCAIION OT DhfNhfN" UhiT'-
There is reason to believe that sickness is
oftencr caused by polluted water than is generally
supposed 70 be the case. The experience OF Mt
Holly, ~ j. and of Plymouth, Penn, as well rs
that Of other places, demonstrates that epldemcs
may easily result from impure drinking water
But the public does not hear of the numerous
cases where the illness is OF less serious character
A good deal of Importance is attached to securing
abundance of water, but comparatively little 10
the publication of il. Now that this city Is
expanding n large amount OF money TO increase
It's supply more attention should be given TO
the matter Of publication If the project for the
stupendous dam at Quaker Bridge is carried out,
as voted by majority Of the Aqueduct Commits
sion, this question promises TO become one of the
greatest consequence to the people OF this city.
In London, after a quarter of century of dis
cussion by the most eminent engineers. chemists
and Legislators, law was passed the good effects
of which became speedily apparent. This statute
miles Of st. Paul's Church shall be covered, and
that all water supplied for domestic use shall
be efTectually filtered, unless IL is pumped from
wells direct into covered reservoirs. Professor
Albert X. Leeds, who has been making a study of
this question in England for the benefit of the
Aqueduct Boards OF Newark and Jersey City
makes a report highly favorable to the English
system Filtration and the preservation
Of the water after that operation
in covered storage reservoirs Is be-
coming the general practice In English cities
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1887-08-12

Filtration by means of sand and gravel Is the
method adopted. Some OF the filter beds are
cleaned once and partly gone over again
every month But under the Quaker Bridge
dam project proposed for this city the water VIII
come from stagnant pond which can never be
cleaned. A report for the month OF May hst
shows that before filtration the water supplied
IN London yielded 4,sOO colonies of microbes per
cubic centimetre OF water. After passage through
the sand filters it yielded only nineteen colonies
If these heterogeneous are the specific germs of
dscnse. as PaSteur and others suppose, then
filtration of the water supply ought to have a
decidedly beneficial effect on the public health
II may be that the lower death rate in London
&c oompared with New-Yorlk is in some degree
due TO this fact.
The III effects encountered in America from the
ng-cOntinued heat OF summer on water stored III
open reservoirs is even greater than in England
President Spencer, of the Aqueduct Commission
is authority for the statement that the water
supplied TO this city has at different times been
bad in every one of the existing reservoirs. 1T IS
purificd by means Of artificial geysers, and by
running many mills over rocks and gravel beds
before 1t reaches the aqucduct. Under the
Quaker Bridge dam system this mode OF filtration
would be entirely lost. All the water. including
the sewage of over 10000 persons, with 12,OOO
cattle horses, etc, living on the watershed 10
say nothing OF five cemeteries, numerous slaughter
houses and factories would be stored in this one
GREAT stacnant pond. To make the city dependent
for its water supply on this reservoir without
providing means for purifying the water would
appear TO be mourning danger OF extraordinary
pronortions

DIR. Ford ex-Consul General at Havana,
seems to think that the blame for the unjust
treatment of Cirilo Pouble lies at the door of

view to take in behalf of the Administration,

were laid before Secretary Bayard by POuble's
friends. The excuse that tho Consul General

Democratic and Nugwump papers with their
usual contempt for accuracy of statement, are
asserting in Will sort OF way that the Rochester
Labor Convention has been fostered by the Re
pubcans. OF course there is not shadow OF
ground for such an assertion. On the other
hand, there is reason, and good reason too, for
the belief that influential Democrats have been
seeking 10 promote this movement with Il view OF
injuring the United Labor Party, which they look
upon as dangerous. Proof Of this may be found
in the presence at Rochester rs delegates OF en-
IOyes from the Public Works Department and
other Democratic olicehollers, and OF CarSey and
others who are regular attaches OF the Democratic
State Committee reporter of The New-Yort
lines seems TO have looked into the matter, and
he winds up his report with THIS significant
statement:
1t said that Police Justice Maurice Power had
furnished the Union Labor party delegates with rail-
road tickets for Rochester and also with money Tor
expenses
Now, no one is likely to accuse Justice Power
of being Republican OF acting as a Republican
agent. Our friends the enemy will evidently
have TO try again.

The Ives bubble has burst at last. This
result was inevitable and the only wonder Is
that it was so long delayed. No sympathy will
be wasted upon Mr.. Ives; he deserves none
He has been extremely reckless and unscrupu-
lous in his operations, has brought discredit
upon an important railroad company, and has
been an uncertain and troublesome factor In
the affairs of Wall Street. The fate which he
has brought upon himself is fully merited No
Trustworthy estimate of the liabilities and
assets eau yet be given. The only thing to
regret In the matter Is that reputable people
will suffer through making loans which enabled
this constituencies specuator to ind ulge in his
wildcat schemes.
